THE MOMENT WHEN I WAS REALLY FRIGHTENED



आइये आज आपको मिलवाती हूँ एक नवोदित उभरती हुई रचनाकार से ! यह है वाणी, मेरी पोती,  जो कक्षा ९ की विद्यार्थी है ! आज पढ़िए उसका लिखा हुआ यह अनुभव जो उसने कुछ दिन पहले अपने क्लास टेस्ट के लिये लिखा था !

It was a dark night and I was having my dinner in candle light with my family members. TV was also silent as it was a normal cut down of power in the night. Darkness always scares me and I was not in a very good mood. Suddenly I saw a bright light coming out of my room upstairs. It amazed me and just to know the source of this light I headed towards my room leaving my food unfinished.
I saw a girl sitting in a white dress on my bed. A cold vibe ran through my veins. With all my courage and heart I moved my feet one by one towards her. I was really scared. She turned towards me and asked me to go and say goodbye to my parents and other family members as this may be the last time I would be able to do so. Hearing this for a moment my body fell pale and my hands became as cold as ice. I ran towards the lobby and started looking for my family but was not able to find them. I was all heartbroken and decided to go back to my room. The girl asked me to lie down and go into a deep sleep. I did so, and closed my eyes. I was able to see every moment of my life in front of my eyes and then suddenly a countdown started. 5…4…3…2…1….0...0…………
I was not able to feel anything. My heart fell numb and I thought it was the end of my life.
But, then I heard a voice and felt something wet on my face. With lot of efforts I managed to open my eyes and saw my mother and my pet dog Samrat standing there. I was overjoyed seeing them and finding myself alive. This was the time when I was really frightened.
